Discover Our StoryA Delectable Journey
Rooted in the culinary heritage of Marseille, Chef Sharon Shay was raised among the timeless traditions of her French family kitchen. From these early influences emerged a passion for elegance, precision, and the artistry of fine pâtisserie.
At just 19, Sharon carried her ambitions across the Atlantic to Chicago, where she discovered a world still unfamiliar with the delicacy of the true French macaron. Determined to share its authentic refinement, she continued her training at Le Cordon Bleu and later perfected her craft at the prestigious Lenôtre Paris, one of France’s most revered institutions.
Guided by this world-class foundation, Sharon embarked on a mission to introduce America to the macaron as it was meant to be—delicate, sophisticated, and crafted with unwavering attention to detail.
Today, Le Petit Sucre stands as a celebration of luxury and artistry, uniting classic French technique with modern elegance. Each macaron is a sensory experience: refined, unforgettable, and crafted for those who appreciate the finest things in life.
